Spelling with a Bottle Cap Staff

Using a staff and a hand full of bottlecaps, students in Fourth Grade practiced reading pitches on the treble clef staff. This skill will be quite valuable when they start recorders in the spring. Working with partners, students created words with the musical alphabet (A B C D E F and G) and then their partner had to use the bottle caps to "spell" the word on the staff. Students plotted words like baggage, cafe, add, Gabe, bag and more.
